The records of the Rho Chapter (North Carolina State University's chapter) of the Sigma Pi Fraternity include their by-laws, correspondence, meeting minutes, membership records, pledge information, a scrapbook, and other general information on the chapters, its members, and its activities. This subgroup also contains materials distributed to the Rho Chapter by the Sigma Pi national office, including pledge manuals, convocation information, publications, and other general information. The Sigma Pi Fraternity was established in 1897 to promote scholarship and character while helping young men to develop leadership qualities and build lasting friendships. North Carolina State College (University) was granted a chapter (the Rho Chapter) in the Sigma Pi Fraternity in May of 1921, composed of the brothers of the former Sigma Chi Gamma Fraternity on NC State's campus. As of 2008, the Rho Chapter remained active at NC State, and was the fifth oldest chapter of the Sigma Pi Fraternity to be in continuous existence. Less
